It's ironic that the people who call themselves '99%' as if that was some kind of good thing are actually just as proportionately a source of the problem as anyone else, if not more so.

This actually sounds a little like victim blaming. If your financies are secure enough that you know you can pay off your mortage/loan, then there's less chance you need a loan in the first place.
